These ground beef products were produced on March 10, 2009, and were distributed to various consignees nationwide. The problem was discovered through an epidemiological investigation of illnesses. On May 13, 2009, FSIS was informed by the Ohio Department of Health of a cluster of E. coli O157:H7 infections. To date, illnesses have been reported in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois.
E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea; dehydration; and, in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors, and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to food borne illness.

On the Christmas Eve of 2015 I had a car accident I felt lost and confused. I had no idea what I was going to do or how I was going to get my car fixed. My supervisor referred me Jorge Peniche who works for Parker Waichman. He came to meet me at my house the same day I spoke to him and helped me till the end of my case. I was very pleased with the lawyers and Jillian was very helpful in the process, her and Jorge were ready to answer any of my questions. Thank you Parker and Waichman!!
